[ING Analysts: Geopolitics Pushes Up Brent Crude Prices, But Speculators Remain Cautious] 1. ING analysts Warren Paterson and Eva Mansi noted that Brent crude oil prices surged nearly 5% at one point due to escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf and a slowdown in transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The gains have since narrowed to 3.8%, trading around $78.89 per barrel. 2. Analysts pointed out that despite renewed hostilities between the US and Iran, speculators remain reluctant to enter the oil market. The latest positioning data shows that in the last reporting week, speculators reduced their net long positions in ICE Brent crude oil by 547 contracts, to 55,087 contracts last Tuesday. 3. The International Energy Agency's latest monthly report shows that the agency expects oil demand to gradually recover this year. The IEA forecasts a year-on-year decline of 4.8 million barrels per day in demand in the second quarter of 2026, with the decline narrowing to 1.7 million barrels per day in the third quarter, before recovering to a year-on-year increase of 1.2 million barrels per day in the final quarter of this year. This largely depends on the trajectory of US-Iran tensions. 4. The IEA estimates that global oil supply increased by 4.1 million barrels per day in June, while global oil inventories rose by 21 million barrels that month, the first increase in four months. ING analysts stated that demand recovery and supply risks will depend on further developments in the US-Iran situation.

[South Korea's KOSPI Index Plunges Nearly 9%, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix Suffer Heavy Losses] 1. South Korea's KOSPI index plunged 8.95% on Monday, marking one of its biggest single-day drops in recent years. Tech giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell 10.7% and 15.3% respectively, becoming the main drag on the market. During trading, the Korea Exchange triggered a circuit breaker due to the index's 8% drop, suspending algorithmic trading for 20 minutes. 2. This plunge was triggered by a confluence of negative factors: escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, obstructed passage through the Strait of Hormuz pushing up oil prices and reigniting inflation concerns; rising market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike this year; and concerns about high valuations stemming from the recent AI investment boom, putting immense selling pressure on the semiconductor sector. 3. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix together account for over 60% of the KOSPI's weighting, a highly concentrated market structure that means any large-scale capital outflow could trigger a systemic sell-off. Goldman Sachs had previously warned that if the combined weighting of the two companies continued to rise, it could trigger a significant outflow of funds from the South Korean market by foreign investors. 4. The South Korean stock market has experienced a rollercoaster ride this year. Previously, the index reached a record high driven by the global AI investment boom, but it has fallen sharply from its peak within just a few weeks, reflecting a reassessment of the semiconductor industry's cyclical nature and valuations.

[Hungarian Parliament Plans to Pass Constitutional Amendment to Impeach President Szóuk, Majólfur Accelerates Dismantling of Orbán's Legacy] (1) Hungarian Prime Minister Majólfur has proposed a constitutional amendment aimed at impeaching President Szóuk, whom he calls a "puppet" of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This proposal is an important step by Majólfur in dismantling Orbán's power structure after the April elections ended Orbán's 16-year rule. (2) Although the president's power in Hungary is limited (he can only veto legislation or request a review), the position has significant symbolic meaning. Majólfur's Tissa party holds a majority of more than two-thirds of the seats in parliament, giving him the ability to amend the constitution and rescind the reforms that weakened democracy during Orbán's era. (3) Majólfur stated last Saturday that parliament would pass the amendment on Monday. If Szóuk fails to sign the law within five days, impeachment proceedings will be triggered. (4) Szóuk has objected to the amendment and requested the Venice Commission, a branch of the Council of Europe, to conduct an assessment.

[US and Iran Clash Over Strait of Hormuz; Weekend Attacks Increase Risk of Diplomatic Rupture] 1. The United States and Iran engaged in a fierce battle over control of the Strait of Hormuz over the past weekend. Iran attacked a container ship in the strait on Sunday, triggering a new round of retaliatory strikes by the US military, highlighting once again that this waterway, which carries one-fifth of the world's oil and gas trade, remains a core sticking point in negotiations. 2. US Central Command stated that it struck dozens of Iranian targets in Monday's airstrikes, including air defense systems, radar stations, missile and drone facilities. Central Command emphasized that "Iran does not control the strait." The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps refuted this, stating that "the Strait of Hormuz is our territory" and warning that "we will not allow continued illegal interference from the other side of the world." 3. The conflict has spread to several countries. Bahrain issued three missile alerts, Kuwait claimed to be intercepting enemy fire, the Jordanian military announced that it had shot down four Iranian missiles, and Oman summoned Iranian diplomats to condemn the attack. Previously, Iran also attacked a Kurdish opposition base in northern Iraq. 4. The 60-day interim agreement between the US and Iran aimed at ending the war is nearing its midpoint, but negotiations have been replaced by military confrontation. Although Trump hinted last week that the ceasefire was "over," mediators such as Pakistan, Qatar, and Egypt continue their efforts to de-escalate the situation. Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued his first statement since his father's funeral, vowing revenge for his father's death. 5. Iran claims the Strait of Hormuz is closed, but the US military and Trump insist it remains open. Iran's continued threats to strike ships using the southern Omani shipping lanes have become the core of the US-Iran conflict, causing high tension in global energy markets. Trump stated on NBC, "We bombed them hard last night." Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf responded, "Either keep your promises or pay the price. Reality is knocking at the door."
